Assassin's Creed II's "Bonfire of the Vanities" DLC Coming This Week

Heads up, Assassin’s Creed II fans. No, there isn’t a shadow figure preparing to pounce on your throat. "Bonfire of the Vanities," the second batch of downloadable content for Ubisoft’s hit sequel, will be stealthily making its way onto PlayStation Network and Xbox Live this Thursday, the publisher announced today.

Ubisoft Montreal PR manager Christophe Grandjean also released two new screenshots of the DLC via Twitter to get you in the mood to purge Florence of suckers hell-bent on riding the world of "sinful" art, entertainment, and all things not lame.

The "Sequence 13" DLC will consist of 10 missions spread across Florence, including an entirely new area of the city. Ezio will also be gaining a new “spring jump” that should make disposing of anti-Renaissance punks extra enjoyable.

The first batch of ACII DLC, "Battle of Forli," was released on January 28.
